Listen In To The 8th Annual IBM i Marketplace Survey Webcast

January 26, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan

It’s that time of the year again when HelpSystems reveals the results of its annual IBM i Marketplace Survey, which believe it or not has now been done eight years in a row. The survey provides a snapshot into the thinking of IBM i shops all over the world as they contemplate the strategic and tactical issues relating to their mission critical applications and the security, resilience, capacity, economics, and long-term viability of the IBM i platform that supports them.

Personally, I sincerely wish that HelpSystems had been doing this survey since the AS/400 was launched in 1988, because it …

Take The IBM i Marketplace Survey

October 2, 2017 Timothy Prickett Morgan

In days gone by, IBM used to have a great amount of insight into what was going on at AS/400 shops. But somewhere between the iSeries and through the System i down to Power Systems running IBM i and what is, apparently, being called Db2 instead of DB2 these days, with or without i, Big Blue stopped having the kind of insight that helped us not only understand the trends in our community, but how they related – or didn’t – to the larger IT community.
